Do men feel it is a prerequisite that a woman be at least as wealthy as they are to be considered for a date? A soul mate (someone to be considered seriously in the dating game)? What is the most important attribute you seek in a date? Personally, I love to laugh, relax, and have fun the rest will come!

When you meet someone and you have that undeniable attraction, wealth or wages never enter the equation.

I'm old school, the man pays for normal date type thingees.

Women spend more money on makeup, hair salons. nail salons, clothing and lingerie and expensive perfume. If you look and smell great, it's money well spent.

When you become a couple you make decisions together.. it's a partnership. If you want to go on a vacation and the guy can't spring for the whole thing it's acceptable for a woman to contribute. Some men might not be comfortable with that.

I can't speak for the younger generation of men however, they seem to embrace different values than geezers like me.

Hi Sundance :) I'm not sure if I should type here since you may only want a man's viewpoint. I will just say that I sure hope that the majority of men don't feel the need for the woman to match their own wealth. What kind of a man is that? lol. I certainly am not going to be what they want or vice-versa.

I think if you can laugh together then you've won at least half the battle. Laughter is the best, I have to agree!

Good luck, see ya around the blogs!

While wealth affords freedom, opportunity and options, money is only useful if spent.

My first and most obvious prereq is attraction, that all elusive chemistry. Next on my list is "smart". To me that doesn't mean she has to have a super high IQ or a whole bunch of degrees... she's just able to navigate life with a certain amount of grace.

A killer sense of humor is a must because laughter is life's lubricant.... but all of the above fails is she's not accessible or available.
